On the entertainment path, Sheraton Universal is at the bottom of a slight hill from Universal Studios gates. It’s a place to rest and relax after arriving in Los Angeles, catching the sites, and with a nickname of “Hotel of the Stars” there’s a bit of expectation.

This was Telly Savalas hotel. He kept a third-floor suite and was around so often that the management named the downstairs bar after him. He first checked into the hotel in 1973, when “Kojak” was taping next door at Universal Studios. Twenty years later, on Jan. 22, 1994, surrounded by family, he passed away in the bedroom of his Sheraton Universal.

As if the hotel wasn’t beautiful enough, the hotel is rich in superstitions from Hollywood Stars taking the same room every visit for fear of foiling the success to the original planners of the Sheraton Universal omitting a 13th floor, or even a room number 13.

Sheraton Universal is a family place. It’s child friendly and welcomes pets. One pet under 80 lbs is welcome for no additional fee.

Centrally located with a rich history, Sheraton Universal is a great place to stay. Visit Sheraton Universal Hotel and discover a place to call home while touring Universal City.
